Name: Quercus alba - Carya alba / Symplocos tinctoria / Mitchella repens Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This forest community is located on small mima mounds within floodplains or flatwoods environments of the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain of Arkansas, Texas, and possibly Louisiana. These mounds are topographically higher than the surrounding landscape and are found on somewhat coarser-textured soils. Dominant trees include Quercus alba and Nyssa sylvatica with Acer rubrum var. rubrum and Carya alba. Scattered Pinus taeda are often present, the density of which is dependent upon past disturbance. Cornus florida is the dominant understory tree, rarely with Sassafras albidum. Symplocos tinctoria and Hamamelis virginiana are the dominant shrubs with Asimina triloba, Callicarpa americana (disturbed mounds), and Vaccinium arboreum occurring as occasional shrubs. Parthenocissus quinquefolia is the usual woody vine occasionally with Smilax bona-nox and Vitis rotundifolia. Dominant herbaceous species include Chasmanthium sessiliflorum. The herbaceous layer can be sparse due to low light levels and litter build-up. Mitchella repens is the common ground cover.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27780.QUERCUSALBACARY Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
